Looking at the groupon. Just wondering that if the groupon expires July 31, 2013 but you can’t use it till after October 26th. Would it not already be expired?? Not making too much sense to me unless the date should read oct 26, 2012? Would love to buy this for my daughters 12th birthday in June.
Yes the groupon you are seeing was put out in October so therefore we noted it could not be used before the 26th, 2012. So your assumption was correct!
If I want to book a birthday party for May 11th from 1-3 and your booking website for birthday parties only goes up to April 20th. How do I book? Also how do I know that day is still available? Thanks
Hey Christina,
To book the birthday party all you have to do is send me an email via the contact page of our website, with name, phone number age of children and the day you would like the birthday party and I can get you booked in.
Hi I was wondering if I have 15 kinder-gardener’s who are 5 turning 6 would this birthday be appropriate for them? I also have the birthday Girls brother coming along and he is 3 could he participate in the horse riding and games. I’m not sure if he would go on a horse but could I still try?
Unfortunately, we can only take 6 year olds and above for Birthday parties. If you are look for lessons for younger, the riders must be enrolled in our tiny tots program.
Hi, I am looking at this groupon for the bday party. My son is turning 6 in march… some kids will still be 5 is that ok? Also it says in the fine print… “Expires 180 days after purchase. Groupon is not valid until October 26th.” This is confusing… can it be used for a party in March?
Thanks
Yes the groupon means after Oct 26, 2012 and no unfortunately we cannot take children under 6 for birthday parties sorry:(
So just to be clear you dont do preschool birthday pony parties? My daughter will be 4 and her friends are all 3 or 4??
Thanks
Not with that many kids, we can do 8 kids of that age. Its just too many small bodies to worry about at the same time.
Hi there, my daughter is turning 14 in February. Do you have an option for games that are age appropriate?
Yes we do. All games are based on the childrens ages.
Hi there, i was wondering if there would be an option for a small group of 5 12-14 yr old girls?
Thank you
Amber
Unfortunately we don’t have a rate for that sorry:(
So if there were 12 or 14 girls, there would be a lot of standing around waiting their turn? I guess my question is how you accommodate a group that size in an hour with only three horses. Sorry if I wasn’t clear in my original question.
Well possibly yes, 3 can ride at one time. We can’t do more than that. Its just not safe. There would be too much going on at once. We’ve done it many times before and not had an issue at all. The kids usually keep themselves entertained by sharing which is their favorite horse and why.
I want to book a birthday party for my daughter. Most children are over the age of 6, but two of them are 4 years old (one is a sibling of the birthday child). Could I still book this party with you or do the younger children have to miss out? Thanks.

Hey Marlise,
For insurance reasons we cannot have anyone under 6. Sorry:(
There are 16 girls in my daughter’s grade 2 class. Would you allow 16 for a birthday party?
Yes but no more.
For a birthday party, how do the riding times breakdown with up to 15 kids and only three horses and instructors?
Im not sure how you mean divided? The riding portion is one hour in length.
My calculation is 12 minutes per child, 3 children riding at any one time, based on 15 children. Less than 15 children = more time/child.
Sure, keep in mind that some children decide they want to ride for a shorter peroid of time, or once they get there decide they don’t want to ride. So in total we ride for an hour.
For the birthday parties, is 3 too young? There would be kids of various ages, but three of the children, including birthday girl, would be 3.
Yes 3 is a bit young. We prefer kids usually around 6 as our minimum age.
How old does my child have to be to have lessons? She is 4 1/2.

4 is our minimum age however at that age they must be in a private lesson.
How is your birthday party program run with the hours indicated for horse/pony riding and games? Will there be a program leader for the group or parents need to coordinate? Is any food selection to be provided or purchased or parents need to bring all the treats,drinks, and cake? How about the dishes and cups?
Is it a net total $200 for 10 or less kids (works out $20 per kid)? Is this only for the game, riding and party room?
Yes the cost only covers the horse, the instructor during the riding times, and someone to organize the games. No food is to be provided by us. Cutlery and plates should be brought with you.
